Description

Geometry Reflections Discovery Activity!

Have your students discover the rules for reflections in the coordinate plane with this Discovery Activity! Students can work independently or with a group to come up with the rules for the following reflections: x-axis, y-axis, y = x, y = -x, other horizontal and vertical lines. Please note that trace/patty paper is required in order to utilize this activity.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).
Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments.
Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the transformed figure using, e.g., graph paper, tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given figure onto another.
